A system and method are described for improved terminal position assurance. A terminal position assurance (TPA) (30) may be located on the bottom of the connector main body and when engaged, ensures proper positioning of the engaged wire terminal. Terminal position assurance hinge 32 is attached to the lower portion of the female connector housing. A terminal position assurance beam 34 is connected to the hinge 32 allowing the beam to pivot relative to the connector housing. A terminal position assurance lock 36 is positioned to contact a corresponding terminal position assurance catch on the wire terminal 96.
